The Preytells bring their familial foundations to the fore of their musical endeavours, with each playing an integral roll in what is the dramatic stage theatre of their live performance.

The band when at full flight are a cohesive unit – it may be inferred that the heat radiating is somewhat reminiscent of the early 60’s pop/rock sound with a splash of 40’s Jazz stirred with a large rod of post punk early 90’s bliss served in a glass of modernity and artistic merit.

The Preytells are scholars of songs from these many golden eras, well versed in both Rock and Roll. However, their sound is often likened to that of The Arcade Fire, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Jeff Buckley, The Dandy Warhols, The Kings of Leon, Radiohead and The Beatles.

Look for The Preytells debut EP “Could I Change Your Mind” in all good record stores, distributed through MGM.
